New Adventures for Kendra

What have I been up to lately? Ill give you a hint..it has a lot of water involved. ....... In case you cant guese, which you probably can or cant that depends. I have been playing in lots and lots of water and in many forms too.

For starters I have been looking for more forms of exercise. I love running but I have found that if I limit my running to four good hard runs, one long, a week and cross train two day and take Sunday off I race a lot better. Plus my motiviation stays higher.

So form of Water #1- I have taken up lap swimming. Ok Ill be honest I am taking it up. Right now I am taking Adult swimming lessons, they teach proper swimming technics to train for lap swimming, triathalons, etc. A triatholon well maybe some day. Well see how the swimming goes and then work on biking.

Form of water #2. Last weekend my ward took a trip to Flaming Gorge. My idea of a trip. We boated, played on the beach, camped, played games etc. But what I loved about it. I never had to change from a swimsuit, pjs and lounge clothes. Perfect!! And I got the closest to getting up on water skiing ever. I made it up but then my ski went out from under me. I have decided though my idea of boating/water fun is waverunners/jet skies, tubbing and being the flag girl.


Form of water #3. Thunder storms. While in Flaming Gorge we got bombarded with thunderstorms. They rolled in every afternoon and lasted for hours. And yes we had to evacuate the lake a lot. Question of the day... What makes a great shelter from the rain. Answer: A bowery covered in little holes.


Hmm a thought as I end this entry. What is the safest way to survive a thunderstorm on a lake? Well we tried both ways, boating though it and evacuating the lake. Im still here and unharmed so I think both work.
